Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The delegates to the Constitutional Convention decided to let the president nominate executive branch officials, as they distrusted the administrative power of the Crown but also knew that legislative bodies could be inefficient and slow in carrying out administrative tasks. The option of the Supreme Court is incorrect, as it is a judicial branch and not responsible for nominating executive officials. The option of states is also incorrect, as the Convention aimed to create a federal system where states had limited powers. The option of cabinet is partially correct, as the president nominates members of his cabinet but it is not the only branch responsible for nominating executive officials.
